System and method for video/audio and event dispatch using positioning system

Abstract

A system and method for operating a network security system implementing security cameras, motion sensors, access control systems, security door locks, and mobile panic button devices within a monitored area. Security cameras transmit video to a network video recorder and the video is analyzed by a video analytics system to determine if a security event is occurring. If a security event occurs, a security control system calls a dispatch service, which transmits a notification to only those security guards who are within a given area of the event.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] Security systems are often comprised of one or more data networks, security devices, safety devices, network video recorders, video analytics systems, and control systems, to list a few examples. The security and safety devices are generally used for monitoring. Examples of security devices include, but are not limited to, security cameras, motion detectors, access control systems (e.g., keypads, fingerprint scanners, radio-frequency identification (RFID) readers), and security door locks. Examples of safety devices include, but are not limited to, smoke detectors and fire alarms. The network video recorders (NVRs) receive image data transmitted from the security cameras over the data network and video analytics systems—which may be integrated with the NVRs—interpret the image data to track individuals, monitor usage, or otherwise determine if a security event is occurring.

[0002] There are a number of ways to generate an alarm condition in response to...
